This is a Ben Stiller affair so I was a little skeptical at first. Saw a genius trailer with gore action an what seemed to be hilarity. Should be good.
The first twenty or so minutes were pretty enjoyable. I enjoyed that. Then it began to suck. And for me it kept sucking. Didn't get better.
Downey Jr. is cool. He was fun to watch. Jack Black, if you know me you know for me he's on par with razorblade diarrhea and Charlie and the Chocolate factory. Not enjoyable. Stiller impressed me in Happy Gilmore. In this he's annoying. The whole Simple Jack gag shouldve stuck to just the conversation he and Downey had with each other. When they brought it back and he performed it it was terrible.
Matthew "always shirtless" McConoghay was pretty good surprisingly. Him, Nick Nolte and surprisingly Danny McBride were the best parts of the movie and they were basically background players. They were the only things that kept the entire last part of the movie (after Steve Coogans explosion) enjoyable. Otherwise it was pretty rank.
The whole start was awesome and full of action. The entire trailer I saw was basically from the first part of the movie. It sold me. The rest of the movie didn't.
This was a rental through the mail so I felt obligated to watch, and my final verdict is that I'd have preferred it be on tv so I could just change the channel and maybe come back to it.
And the Tom Cruise stuff is over rated. Didn't think it was very funny at all. His dancing and rap music scenes sucked. And for the people who didn't know it was him on first sight, you're as retarded as Simple Jack.
